The reason most red carpet poses appear to be angled from a side or three-quarter viewpoint is that it gives the appearance of smaller hips. So, too, the ubiquitous trick of crossing your ankles. If seated, push forward slightly to keep the bottom half farther away from the lens. Bend your legs at the knee and push your feet slightly back.
The standard beauty pageant pose - one hand planted on a hip with the other straight down - is popular for good reason. It not only gives a woman something to do with her hands, it also causes her to consider how the rest of her figure appears. Read: stomach in, shoulders back. Palms are also best facing the thighs.
As for your face? A chin tipped slightly up can stretch out a double chin. But don't overdo it or you risk an uninvited view of your nostrils. Tip your head down and the focus is on your eyes. Keep lips partially open or smile generously.
When in doubt, smile! Any flaws in an outfit or pose disappear when you look like you're having a good time.
